Answer 1

There are a few ways of doing this problem. Which ways have you tried already?

Answer 2

subtract

Answer 3

What problem are you running into when you try to subtract?

Answer 4

5 1/4- 3 2/3

Answer 5

Do you know how to convert a mixed number into a fraction?

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

Ok. That's where to begin then. :)

The basic idea is "

step 1 multiply the whole number (5) by the number in the denominator (4) and
step 2 add that to the number in the numerator (1), then
step 3 put that number over the number in the denominator (4).

It's actually pretty quick. 5 + 1/4 ==> 5*4 = 20.
20 + 1 = 21
final answer = 21/4

Understanding WHY we do all that in the first place is SUPER DUPER important, otherwise there is no point in working the problem. :)

Answer 8

an object that weighs one pound on earth can weigh much more than that on other planets the list below shows how more an object can weigh on other planets
jupiter:2 1/2
neptune:1 1/5
what would be the weight of a 12 3/4 pound bowling ball on jupiter and neptune @Mathematics

Answer 9

You would take the weight of the object on earth and multiply it by the number associated with each planet. (so multiply 12 + 3/4 times 2 +1/2 to find the weight on Jupiter.

FUN FACT -- Jupiter has no solid surface. It's just a gigantic ball of gas.
